Vesico-cutaneous fistula: unusual complication after transobturator mid-urethral sling.
Article in International urogynecology journal, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The transobturator tape (TOT) procedure was described in 2001 as the safest sling technique for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Although routine intraoperative cystoscopy to detect bladder and urethra injuries after the TOT procedure is not usually advocated, when such perforations do occur, there is potential for further patient morbidity. We present a case report of a vesico-cutaneous fistula detected after placement of a TOT sling in a 44-year old woman, 3 months postoperatively. Cystoscopic evaluation after mid-urethral sling procedures, especially in high-risk situations such as patients with cystocele, previous pelvic floor surgery or during the learning curve of the procedure, may avoid such complications associated with unrecognized lower urinary tract injuries.
